Criminal Compliance

With the introduction, more than a decade ago, through the reform of the Criminal Code, of the criminal liability of legal entities, Criminal Compliance became the seed of what we know today as the legal discipline of Compliance.

A decade of study and construction of the discipline has gone a long way, also at a jurisprudential level. The approach to Criminal Compliance has evolved into a holistic concept of compliance itself, in which the protagonists are the CMSs (Compliance Management Systems) – we are members of the Committee of Experts that transposes the ISO 37301 of CMS – and the generation of a compliance culture that makes them effective, with the ultimate goal of mitigating operational risks throughout the value chain of organizations and even outside it, extending compliance to third parties.

The risks are many and not only the legal consequences are of concern, since the reputational implications can directly affect the income statement. That is why at Fortuny Legal we take a holistic approach to compliance from two fundamental premises: in-depth knowledge of our clients’ business and technical-legal knowledge. We position ourselves as our clients’ business allies, building a solid and sustainable growth in the medium and long term. To achieve this, we act on the three fundamental axes of the discipline: prevention, reaction y training.
